Straying away from Chapter 8 in the Outliers, in the previous chapters there was talk about communication issues and how it affected flight crashes.? Gladwell talked about how it wasn?t one mistake that led to a plane crash, it was multiply?small?mistakes?that pile ontop of eachother.? Like a chain reaction.??One of these major mistakes that was pointed out was?the pilots communication with the air traffic controllers.? For the air traffic controllers the pilots need to be straight forward with there commands and requests.? There has to be common ground because the slightest addition of a word or subtraction of a word can turn the meaning of the command totally upside down.
After reading about this I immediately related in to how people communicate with eachother in relationships and friendships and such.? I feel exactly how the air traffic controllers feel, if you want to get your point across to someone you have to precise and to the point. But most importantly you have to be honest.? I feel honesty is the most important aspect in a relationship or friendship, it is what will tie everything together with trust being the glue.? If you are not honest, and are not straight to the point, the meaning or your statement with be obscure.? Just like the commands to the air traffic controllers, and your relationship /friendship will suffer, just like the planes had crashed.
